I'm from - Allen Yang

I’m from a rather different ethnic background
I’m from a different past
From my parents of whom were born
From the “homeland”, thousands of miles distant

From the old past
To the newer beginning, and the many years
From now, looking back
To the future of tomorrow?

I’m from the beat of dribbling at the recess yard
I’m from the sound of rapid footsteps
and the scream of “You’re it!”
From the exploration of restricted school premises

From the All City Orchestra...
I’m from Generation Y.
